Ohhh 😦 sweet @Meowmy Nightmares:

The real trying to scream in your sleep type? The rational I can pull myself out of this type?

The administration my subconscious is doing filing type?

I’ve never told anyone @Meowmy but I have to watch one of the SciFi tv series or movies, that I like, to go to sleep.

Because they are predictable.

When real life is continuously unpredictable, a predictable pattern in a tv show or movie is soothing.

I hope you have something that helps you sleep. Big HUGS

Morning @Glisten @DownMoreThanUp @Meowmy yes I’m haunting the early hours again. Dead of night and sleepless. Had coffee even though I should know better. Psychiatrist will tell me off later today. Coffee addict. I’m safe do not suffer with SI, just overtired hypomanic and sleepless. GP away long term, psychologist too expensive not on mental health plan psychiatrist nice but I ignore her advise when hypo. Need to wash bedding and clothes today and go to shops. Can’t drive safely when anxious. Hope you all are sleeping better than me.

Morning @GezzaP, I hope you were able to get a bit of sleep. I’m yet to sleep yet so the day will be interesting 🤪. I hope your day runs smoothly.

Morning to everyone else awake 😊

how was your day yesterday @TAB

Morning @ chasingsunsets

Didn’t sleep anymore @Chasingsunsets . A bad night. 5 bad nights in a row! Psych will be annoyed at me. Will do washing when it’s light, water garden and go to shop. When close neighbour gets up will indulge in my spa bath. Broke get paid mid-tomorrow afternoon. Hope you get some sleep.

Thanks @GezzaP @I am going to try see if I can 🤩

your day sound good though lots of productive stuff planned! How’s your garden going? I’m going to try see if I can get a bit of rest but should be back in later 😊

Garden is a bit messy. I can’t manage it anymore with my bad back penalty for typing a PhD and slouching at computer and anxiety @Chasingsunsets . Going to make garden lower maintenance by taking out veggies and putting in natives, cacti or succulents. Reckon in about a year’s time. My helper doesn’t come often enough to keep the veggies growing. The irrigation system he set up doesn’t work properly. He doesn’t listen to me properly. Can’t afford a proper gardener.

Morning all. Been awake for hours. Waiting for neighbour to get up so can have spa bath. I got spa bath when I was working. Gotta let puss out. She refuses to use cat door.

I’m nervous about cataract surgery scared I’ll move even though they sedate you. Will talk to psych about this later today and see what she says.

@TAB @Chasingsunsets @Glisten @PeppyPatti @DownMoreThanUp And others I’ve missed.

@GezzaP Sorry to hear you are struggling. Please do not fel bad drinking coffee, i have so often done this myself, while coffee can be so good when our heads our dull and our mental energy on empty. Drinking a cuppa myself even now to clear the cobwebs. i hope you enjoy it.

For me it was not the coffee but the need for some ability to think through the brain fog. That can be so very hard when we are warn down and still unable to sleep.

i hope your morning picks up a little my friend.

For the one awake while the world sleeps

The night feels louder
when sleep forgets your name,
thoughts sprint ever more laps
while the moon keeps watch,
and clouds block much of its light.

Yet morning will come softly,
its light breaking through
where even restless hearts
may enjoy a new dawn.

Let daytime commence.
Maybe wash the sheets.
Maybe eat some good food.
Maybe skip the extra coffee
(if miracles still happen).

And do be gentle with yourself,
for this tired chapter
called today
is not your whole story.

One great day,
rest will find you again.

So my friend, until it does,
may small ordinary things
carry you safely
into daylight.
